In Finding Neverland, the breakout performance of 9-year-old Freddie Highmore carries a tremendous emotional punch. Oprah asked the young actor about his budding career.
Oprah: Did you always want to be an actor?
Freddie: Well, I wasn't sure when I was young.
Oprah: When you were young?!
Freddie: Yeah. When I was younger, I thought it would be quite fun to do a small part and see how it went. And so I went to an audition and I did a small part and then the parts got bigger and bigger.
